That's because its going to go the same way as China.

interesting

www.globaltimes.cn...

An expert from the National Health Commission (NHC) said that the confirmed COVID-19 cases in Northeast China's Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces have different characteristics from those in Hubei Province.

Qiu Haibo, an expert from the medical treatment group under the NHC, said on Tuesday on a TV program on China Central Television that based on the gene sequencing, most of the cases in Jilin and Heilongjiang were completely consistent with the imported cases, but not quite the same as those found in Hubei.

According to Qiu, the cases in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces have a long incubation period, and their clinical symptoms are not typical. In many cases, the patients do not have fever, but do suffer from fatigue or sore throat. Some patients have no symptoms, resulting in family clusters.

Qiu noted that Wuhan's patients suffered not only lung damage, but also myocardial, renal and intestinal damage. However, the cases in Northeast China which are related to imported cases mainly showed lung damage, with very slight damage to the heart, kidney or intestines.

synthetic virus adapts and changes itself quickly..

what the hell have the chinese created here..

I have noticed about 5 months into this virus outbreak, people social by nature tend to turn back, into what they have been programmed think, themselves.

Their is and always will be a different opinion, a different school of thought that determines what is right or wrong, decisions to be made by intelligence wisdom etc. hard ones that are left for the historians to judge. Yet as a whole we lack the skill or fortitude to be compared to those that housed our genetics generations ago to provide us with existing at this moment reading and writing our thoughts.

This virus was and is a perfect weapon, to not only reveal our vices as a species but is also profoundly design to actually change or add upon how our instinctive nature will procure to future genetic compounds. With the suppression of the truth to skew the fatalities of the disease to the arbitrary constant proclamation of a cure is near, creating the theoretical idealism without showing the people the raw data of the victims dying or becoming severely ill from it leading to the hospitalizations and icu treatments. It is easy to keep people ignorant and makes it even easier for the mass ignorant populace to deny and attack those that provide the truth.

Once again a perfect weapon, that I doubt a homosapien was smart enough to create and change its society. In conclusion the case numbers went down, only because we went into quarantine, not a great big prophetic prediction coming from me, but cases and fatalities will rise again when people once again socialize in society again. Either we accept this or we fail. Mutation ironically is not something being introduced to the populace of the world. Eventually this will become a virus our bodies will accept just like the flu, yet the reality thou, I can put like this, this virus is like being in a conventional war and one side introduced tanks to the conventional battlefield for the first time. Eventually the other side figured out how to blow up the tanks or they lost the war.

SIA. Stay safe

Over and out.

Glad all you got out of the hour video and discussion points was a misquote of a name for a group of scientists.


"WHO - epidemiologist - for them success is minimizing number of deaths from a particular outbreak. It's not at what cost"

Thanks for the heads up.

Haven't chimed in for a few days. 0 new cases today in Aotearoa/New Zealand for the fourth day in a row only 30 active cases down from 35 yesterday. 1503 total confirmed and probable cases total. With 22 deaths. We are at level to now, schools started back this week, but I kept my children home anyway, they will have to go next week.
Kia kaha world

It’s all getting a little too Orwellian here. The supposedly unbiased public service news, the BBC, has turned into The Ministry of Information. No awkward questions, no truth, just the version the state wants you to hear.

The Tories are even eating away at the oppositions means to question them. The Tories are getting away with murder and then congratulating themselves for it and there’s apparently nothing anyone can do about it.

History may well look back at this dark episode in the U.K. and say that the public must have been complicit, in the same way history holds the German public of the late 30s/early 40s to some extent accountable for doing nothing while the Jewish were rounded upon. It’s not the kind of thing one wishes to compare, but this may one day be seen as a genocide of the old and the sick by a greedy, ruthless regime and we all just stood by and watched.

The Tories should be removed from office and replaced by an emergency coalition; Boris, his advisors and cabinet investigated fully. But the opposition lack the nerve, the people are forbidden to protest and so the Tories are taking full advantage of these circumstances to advance their fascist agenda at double time.

We’ve seldom had a true democracy, but fear that this country is losing what semblance of it we’d been allowed.

EDIT: an example of our ‘Ministry of Information’... In the U.K.s daily televised press briefing’s the Tories always compared our death toll to that of other countries to show that ours was lower. The very same day that our deaths were greater than the other countries the Tories ceased doing this part of the briefing. They haven’t done it since.

Your thoughts mirror my own.
The BBC has become nothing more than a place where we get fed what we want to hear from those higher up. The trouble is, people eat it up like zombies sat in front of the TV.
Our rights have slowly been taken away from us in front of our eyes and there's nothing we can do now. Too late. The Tories should be held accountable considering they had at least 3 weeks of seeing what was happening in China to act. They didn't and now look at the mess we're in.

I would love the Labour Party to question the Tories actions and ask for an investigation into the handling of the whole situation.

When all this is over, I hope people don't forget how slow at dealing with such a huge situation they were and the pain they've caused for thousands of people. then again, most people listen to the BBC, so like always, it'll get swept under the carpet.

Sadly you’re right, there will be no enquiry. This virus won’t have a decisive end at which point the opposition can say, ‘right, now for that enquirey’. It’ll end slowly, by degrees and any talk of enquiries will be answered at every stage by ‘wait til it’s over.’ We’ll, when exactly is something like this ‘over’?

And if an enquiry ever does get set into motion it’ll go the way of the Dolphin Court VIP poedophile ring enquirey. Endless set backs as one judge after another quits and needs to be replaced until, with years gone by the public’s attention has been redirected by something like Brexit and the enquirey is quashed.

To think the very man accusing some VIPs of sexual abuse is now himself given a full life sentence (murderers don’t even get that in the U.K.). it screams of being a warning to any that wish to move against the establishment.

I digress... We are indeed fooked!

I refuse to believe these people can be that inept at the job they are allegedly there to do.

It's almost as if they were dangling their feet in the water just to see if their toes would get wet.

Update from the Isle Of Wight, UK.

(All of the information below has been read on social media free for anyone to access)

Things have changed a little here and we are now pioneering the new app for the UK. Apparently just over half the population have downloaded it but many have had issues which I guess would be normal for a new app.

People have been told they have been near infected people and must isolate when they haven't even been out.

There seems to be an issue with testing - many people here have commented that they were tested in late April/early May and still hadn't had their results back by mid may.

Another one is a whole bunch of people talking on local groups and posting screenshots who have said that they had testing by "Randox" company which gave a negative result on 27th April only to be sent a text on 15th MAY to say 'your Covid19 test had come back unclear. Please seek a repeat test via the route you used previously.' These people have been walking around thinking they have all clear since 27th April until 15th May..

One last had a test on 3rd March and then got test results back 18th may, result unclear after 15 day wait. The husband had test on 3rd march but for results only 4 days later.

Some of the samples have been sent to labs in the USA and others have been told nearest lab is Brighton UK.

One positive story is a man yesterday who had a temperature of 39.1 and reported in the new app. He had a test arrive at the door one hour later. The other user of the app in the house, his wife, she has not had an alert sent to her despite living in a small two bedroom house.

Another one was a wife who reported symptoms on the app last week, husband was messaged within 4 hours to tell him to self isolate. Wife was tested and this was negative, she has all clear yet the husband a week later still is being told to isolate, has had no update.

I do not have the app as am not confident in the people behind it and privacy.

Ramping up in South America (especially Brazil and Peru), also higher daily rates in India.

Coronavirus rages on: Worst day yet for new cases as WHO records 106,000 people newly infected around the world

www.dailymail.co.uk...

The UN health agency's chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Tuesday there were 106,000 cases reported to WHO - the most in a single day since the outbreak began' in December. The new figures come after states around the world have been dramatically ramping up their testing programmes. 'We still have a long way to go in this pandemic,' Tedros told a virtual press conference as his agency warned of rising infection figures in poorer countries.

I definitely think a second wave will inevitably arrive... either from abroad or from ourselves now that lockdown has eased and crowds are gathering again. (In England). With travelling abroad being relaxed aswell... it's inevitable and may be worse than first wave.

Thanks for this info! It’s indictment of the U.K. media’s complicity that we learn this from you and from individuals on social media. Why not from the press and BBC? This app is being used by the Tories to convince parents it’s safe to send their children to school: that it’ll be ready in time - in a couple of weeks. Your examples show otherwise.

Boris has just scolded the leader of the opposition for being negative about their handling of the virus. That he can lie so often, then tell the opposition to shut up, and get away with it. Scary times.

a reply to: McGinty

Yes it paints a rather bleak picture I'm afraid old chap, I don't know why but I'm picturing skits from dad's army thinking about this mess.

Yay! They have a vacine ready for you, whether you want it or not! ChAdOx1

"the treatment, which has already received in the region of £90million in government investment"

"all six of the participating monkeys went on to catch the coronavirus."

"The vaccine entered its first human clinical trial last month. As many as 1,110 people across Oxford, Southampton, London and Bristol are taking part."

So, the vacine doesnt work, but they hope to jab you with it in September to make you feel better.
